I have an animated PDF as I created an animated figure using:

\begin{animateinline}[controls, autoplay]{12}
\multiframe{65}{i=1+1}{%
  \begin{tikzpicture}



Something here




\end{axis}



\end{tikzpicture}


}
\end{animateinline}

I need to include this animation in a PowerPoint presentation (there are some reasons for not using beamer). Is there any way to save the animation as a gif?

I am sorry I know this may be more of a PowerPoint question but animated PDFs are not that common outside of the TeX universum.

  • Not being a TikZ user, I cannot answer that, but... Any possibility you could run a screen recorder program, play the PDF, record the animation to a file format that PowerPoint understands? – rallg May 05 '23 at 16:45
  • Two solutions are given in this discussion. – Roland Chastain May 05 '23 at 19:40

    Yes, there is. Use the standalone document class and export as class option. This outputs a multipage PDF with the animation frames. Then convert this to animated gif with ImageMagick (or something else).
